Is anyone else having trouble using the Android Wear app from the Play Store? It crashes every time I try to open it. I've uninstalled it three times, nothing. I've cleared the cache, still nothing. My G watch comes Monday and it would be nice to know if it's my phone or the app. If anyone with a Padfone X could download the Android Wear app and tell me what happens when you open it, I would appreciate it.
Not sure what's changed, but the app is running fine now.
Edit: Never mind...its crashing again.
My phone is a LG G3 T-Mobile, running on 5.0.1 LP OTA updates.
After setting up my zenwatch2 with my phone, the watch pop up the
"Get google play services Android Wear won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone“
On my phone I am running Android Wear ver. 1.3.0.2369832
Google play services ver. 8.3.00
I have done multiple factory reset on the watch but still pop up after synchronising with my phone.
What could be the issue? Watch seems to work fine. Text and notifications shows up fine.
Try to restart the google play services on phone
I've disable it on the phone then it said it will revert to old version. But it didn't. No option under google play for uninstall update. Its greyed out. Once I disable on the phone, well I tried, I reboot and then factory reset zenwatch. Then repeat the entire pairing process all over again. Still nothing. So, I don't know.
When i started the first time, and after I FDR'd I got the message. It went away quickly though.

I've had this message on my SWR50, too, when BT connection to the phone (Edge+) got lost. Android Wear app on phone showed a "connecting" message, while the watch was complaining about missing services. I've rebooted both phone and watch, now it's fine. Hope this does not happen again with the ZW2, which will arrive in 14 days.
I tried everything. It still pop up once in awhile. I am running Blisspop ROM for my lg g3 T-Mobile. Everything is up to date. So, I don't know. Both watch and phone running on lp 5.1.1 ... So, j can't see the conflict there. Both play services updated to current version.
I've had it show up briefly once or twice, but it quickly goes away. Seems like just a minor bug.

You need Google search to fix the problem.. Make sure Google search is not disable. Clear the cache on Google search in app settings. Then don't open Google search. Because that will be a battery drain.

Thanks.
I've updated all the gapps. So far it hasn't pop up on the watch, yet!
Been working fine lately.
It would been nice if the connection range is further. Seem pretty short distance, then it will get disconnected.

It would make this watch 10x better if the issues get hammered out.
Look forward to your work.
This is happening on Moto 360 (1st gen) too. Been using the watch fine on my Moto X '13, then today factory reset it paired it with my new phone (moto x pure) and it works fine for a bit, then this notification comes on my watch screen and the watch disconnects. All play services and such are up to date
Every time I factory reset it and re pair it with android wear it will appear once or twice then disappears
It is normal across all Android wear devices. Android Wear requires that Google Search is installed and enabled (not disabled, lol). I have a tendency to disable this feature when I am going through disabling apps on a fresh boot. Just make sure Google Now is able to launch. You don't have to accept to use Google Now, but you should be able to swipe up on home to launch search.

The real reason for that to pop up. Is when the device gets disconnected from the phone. And you are right about Google search.
Had a 360 Sport for a number of months paired to my old faithful HTC One M7. Just upgraded to a Moto G4 Plus, so reset my watch and paired it with my new phone.
But no matter what I do,I cannot get Google Fit to install on my watch...
I have reset the watch many times and the phone twice. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the app but still nothing.
Anybody got any suggestions, it was on there and working fine with my HTC.

I have the same issue. I didn't get a new watch or phone though. I was having some notification issues after the latest android wear app (v 2.0) was installed on my phone (Note 5). So I reset my watch and now I don't have google fit on my watch. I'm sure it's something with the latest version of android wear but no idea what. I think Amazon Shopping is the same as it used to have a very crappy android wear app but that's not on my watch either. Please update here if you find a solution. I'll do the same. Thanks

Worked a treat.
As of Feb. 8/9 of 2017, it looks to me like my Tablet S, which came with 4.0.3 is no longer able to run Google apps. The tablet is still fine for other things, but the Chrome browser is on version 42 and can't be updated. Kinda sucks that one day it works, and the next it doesn't. It is still a fine tablet but much less useful to me without the Google apps. Some can still run in the browser, but it certainly is not as handy.
Hi,
I have the same issue. A couple of days ago (I think on 10.02.2017), all Google apps lost connection to 'mothership' on my STS . I've tried all potential fixes out there (clearing data, cache, uninstalling updates, re-installing updates, uninstalling Google Services, modifying hosts file, disabling two-step authentication etc.) - nothing works. I've made also a factory reset and up until the moment I download Google Services app, the connection is there. However, all new versions of Gapps require Google Services in order to run. So it's either running a couple years old versions or not having Gapps at all.
Is this some kind of intentional action on Google side? Or maybe some bug in Google Services app? I doubt many people here still use STS, but maybe there's hope that someone finds a solution to this issue?

Thanks for the reply. My belief is the Chrome browser cannot be updated on the version of Android it is running. That would mean to me that any other device running 4.0.3 is running Chrome 42, also, and nothing can be done. Sure would like to be wrong. I have plenty of options (toys), but I hate losing normal functions on an otherwise functional machine. It is 5 years old.
Thanks for starting this thread in the first place. Without it, I would still be wondering am I the only one with this issue .
I don't think it's connected solely to Chrome browser. From my point of view, it has something to do with google services. I've tried to revert to some older version (via APK mirror, but with no success). What's worse, now I can't even get into google play store (for a while I could, despite Gapps being down). Not sure what to do at this point. I've used my STS mostly for YT or some movie during travel. I guess I'm left with just the latter . Anyway, if it's not just a bug, then it's a really unfair move from google.

I would bet I am correct, but...see which version of Android and the browser you are running and compare to what I reported. I was told the browser was no longer updateable with 4.0.3. The fact that it happened just as Google was announcing its new products is what led me to this conclusion.
You can still watch YouTube through the browser on your STS. I had mine on my bedstand with the dock so that I could watch in bed via Google Cast. Cast will not work because of this issue, even in the browser, because it is a newer app. So, I replaced it with my Nexus 7 2012, which also has a dock. Works fine, as would a phone or tablet.
These are my conclusions - if you find otherwise, please report back! :good:
Of course, I'm not 100% sure, but since I'm not using Chrome browser and still have this issue - wouldn't that indicate that it isn't a browser-related one? Plus, once you do a factory reset and not install Google Play Services, the connection to Google servers is being established. It's being lost after Google Play Services installation. That's what suggest to me that these services are indeed the culprit. In the end it doesn't really matter as whatever the culprit is, it doesn't look like we can solve this on our own .

Not disagreeing. Just saying that if the browser can't be updated, then apps can't be either, perhaps for the reasons you state. Sorry for the confusion. I think we're looking at the same thing from different perspectives. Either way, I think the STS is de-Googled. It is a shame as I think it has been a really good machine for its specs. Time to repurpose it or just put it away.
Sad, but true . STS had its quirks, but it has been with me longer than any other equipment.
I won't hold my breath, but maybe next Google Play Services update or some other update could fix this issue. I'll let you know if I find something.
Cheers.
I got out another Android tablet (an Asus 2 in 1) that I was thinking of repurposing and found it had Android 4.0.3 and Google Play Services 10.2.98. There is no access to Google apps except the Play Store and the Chrome browser. I forgot to check which browser number it was but if I had to guess, it is 42. Since I had not been using it, I don't know when this access was taken away, but I'd think it was the same timeframe as the STS.
There are 2 seperate issues.
- Chrome browser does not update: this is normal (I think since quite some time), as the chrome browser does not support Android 4.0 anymore. Just download another browser.
- Since a short time (days, weeks) there are some issues with the google services. Youtube doesn't start, sync doesn't work. Google Photos cannot login. But the play store does work fine.
This problem occurs on 3 seperate tablets, all with different google logins and configurations. I also tried resetting to factory state on one tablet, with the same results.
This is not because of android 4.0, because I have other devices that are older (even 2.3) that still work fine. There is probably a Google-Service update that does not play nicely with the tablet S (or maybe even other tegra 2 chipsets).

FYI:
It is indeed an incompatability between the latest Google-Services and Tegra2 chip.
All Tegra2 devices seems to be impacted, including the devices that are updateable to a newer version of android.

Thanks for the info! I will keep looking at the various sites to see if a fix for the Tegra devices comes out, but I'm not counting on it. Again, everything by Google but the Chrome browser and the Play Store seem to be affected, so the main reason I use Google is gone for two devices. If it isn't a Google app, they do work. YouTube works in the browser, but not Cast, etc. Hulu works.
I have other tablets and phones that have ARM processors, so I don't need to buy anything, but it is disappointing that they screwed up two good Google devices I have, one being in use everyday until it happened. That reminds me, I have a Chromebook with a Tegra chip - I'll have to check on that...updating from 59..0.2924.87 to...56.0.2924.110 - no problems. This is a Samsung XE303C12.
Thanks a lot spicyalan for the info about all Tegra2 devices being affected.
I've just installed Google Play Services version 10.5.42 (beta) and it seems to have solved the issue . At least I can use Gmail and YT freely, without crashes or FCs.
Afterwards, I have checked your link (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/play/uX3Xqk2gi_k;context-place=topicsearchin/play/category$3Aandroid%7Csort:relevance%7Cspell:false) and others have confirm this to be a working solution (at least for the time being).

Agreed, the 10.5.42 beta works on my Asus TF101 and my Sony Tablet S, both having Android 4.0.3.

Hi all,
I sideloaded the Wear 2.8 update on my Asus Zenwatch 3 (which is OLED) and was pretty annoyed that I have no black background!
No idea if it really saves battery but I prefer the black look.
I'd like to modify the apk to have a proper black background but I don't know if it's possible.
Anyone able to help me?
Thanks..
What version of 2.8 is it? I feel like there was maybe one before the black background. I'm on 2.8.0.18. The only things I could suggest would be to manually check for updates in the google play store on your watch and try rebooting if it looks like you are on the latest one. (I had one user say my wear apps background changed after rebooting)
Can you explain how to get 2.8 on my Wear24? lol
Once 2.8 shows up in Play store for your account it will be available for update on your phone and then eventually sync slowly over Bluetooth to the watch to be available for your watch.
It took over a week for the update to be available on my account.

lol i wish I could tell you....my play store stays open for about 5 seconds and then crashes. Can't download anything to my watch or even stay in it long enough to answer your question. I have factory reset multiple times and tried a variety of option toggling. It's quite frustrating

Are you sure it is not just going into ambient mode? When the watch goes to ambient mode in the play store, it will go back to the watch face. You could try continually tapping the screen to see if it eventually loads.
